A new spin-off of the popular Russell Kane fronted series Evil Genius. The main series features humans through history as being good or evil, judged by the host, comedians and experts. This new spin-off is the same but with animal breeds (episodes so far are on hamsters and bottlenose dolphins), resulting in lots of anecdotes and facts about animals that will make you see them in a different way.

The series can occasionally have comedians trying to outwit each other, which can feel rather tiresome to some, but as it is a BBC series there’s an educational feeling throughout so learn a lot too. You can listen to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts, but episodes are available 28 days earlier through BBC Sounds.
